Daily painting #79, oil on wooden panel 30x20 cm, available on Etsy.
Lilacs on Kattenburg island, original oil painting, plein air in Amsterdam.This is on the old naval wharf in Amsterdam. The island Kattenburg was created in 1655 and is across the National Maritime Museum and near Central station.
For me, the interest of this painting lies in the contrast between the straight volumes of the buildings and the meandering branches of the lilac tree. I painted it en plein air.

Over mij

Philine van der Vegte

Welcome! My name is Philine van der Vegte, and I paint what I see. The paintings you will find here are fairly realistic, in a loose style. The subjects are close to home; small things from the kitchen or garden, farm animals and Dutch landscapes. I love to paint people and will gladly do a portrait for you.

I try to paint daily, and blog about this below. The daily paintings are usually small. Most paintings are for sale on Etsy, or you can contact me directly if you see something you like.
